Nude with hearts

Hi guys! How are you all doing? :) I've finally finished all my exams for the first semester, so more time for blogging again! :)

For this post I wanted to share this semi-nude mani with you that I made last year. I wanted to make hearts on my nails by making a template with tape and this heartshaped paper punch that I have, but the punch had a hard time getting through the tape, so all I was left with was a little wrinkled, misshapen hole... So I cut out the shape myself from a fold up piece of tape and that's how I got to this design with V-shaped French tip. I still have to get used to nude nails, but I kind of like it like this. ^^ For the rest of my nails I was looking for a smokey purple, the polish that came nearest to what I wanted was Bourjois Bleu Asphalte. But I if I had Frederiksberg from WIC Herôme at the time, I certainly would've gone for that instead, I love that color so much! :)
So what are your thoughts on these nude nails? Would you wear them yourself?

Happy cloud

Hi everyone :) This is how I wore the cloud design after finishing the tutorial. I used Barry M Shocking Pink, China Glaze For Audrey and Essence Let's Get Lost and combined it with Essence Bella on the rest of my nails. I love how it turned out! It's so cheerful and kind of like the opposite of the more serious grey cloud I did last week.
Also a big thank you for all the lovely comments that you guys left on the tutorial, you're the best! It makes me so happy to know it helped or inspired you. And I've really enjoyed all the awesome cloud manis that you shared with me so far, so keep them coming! See you next time. :)

Tutorial: Freehand cloud design

Hello everybody, welcome to this tutorial! This time I'll show you how to make the freehand cloud look. All you need for this quick and easy design is three pretty polishes and the brushes that come with it, so there's no extra equipment needed. Use this layered look on accent nails, for a full mani or... to cover up tipwear from an old mani. :) Let's get started, shall we?

First apply your basecolor and let it dry. If necessary use a basecoat underneath.

To make the cloud shape, we're simply going to apply the second polish in three strokes. Start each stroke by placing the tip of the brush on the surface and wait a little till enough polish has dripped off forming a round starting point. Start on one side of the nail and make each stroke shorter than the one before.
Tip: If your polish comes with a (big) flat brush, just twist it 90° and use the side. Now it's easier to make those round edges! ;-)

Then take your third color and make a second cloud layer below the first one. Let the polish dry.

Finally seal your work with your favorite topcoat and you're done! Pretty simple, isn't it? :)

I would absolutely love to see your attempt on my design, so feel free to leave a link to your creation in the comment section!

Polishes I used in this post are Barry M Shocking Pink, China Glaze For Audrey and Essence Let's Get Lost.

for those of you who follow me a lot, please pass this link to any new girl trying to find the answers if i havent answered them. it helps me a lot and might inspire someone to  keep trying instead of giving up. i know i cannot do it alone...so, if you can...just pop this link for them and it would just be super cool if you do :D:D:D

my love to you guys :)

for your questions for how to use eyeshadow on your nails, please go to my faq link. it shows you how to use the "best glue ever" what it is, how it holds the shadow, what to expect and how to get the best, most long lasting results. everything you need to know about how to use eyeshadow in your nail art is here...i call eye shadow or eyeshadow "pigments". pigments are all eyeshadows and can be used as body glitter, lipgloss glitter, eyeshadow, or nail art enhancements...they are universal and can be bought at the mac counter, at bare escentuals counter, at the drugstore under "jessies girl" or "nyc" or "wet and wild" any compact high pigmented eyeshadow will work and i fully recommend you try it! also, you can buy glue at dollarnailart.com for other nail art adhesive (you need the glue for it to stick properly and last) what is special about foil or pigment glue adhesive is...it dries clear and very sticky and picks up pigment and keeps it shiny and on the nail for you to work on youru designs. :D

good luck!

Grey cloud

Hi everyone! For this post a grey cloud mani to match with today's weather. On my accent nail I used China Glaze Recyle, a black creme and between those China Glaze Concrete Catwalk, which is what I'm wearing on the rest of my nails too. It's the best grey creme I've got. Just two smooth coats for an even, glossy finish. ♥
I don't wear greys on their own very often, usually I just need some color to go with it. You know, to brighten things up. However, I think today's mani is cute in all its greyness :) Do you wear greys a lot?
